I'm with the oil magnate: i don't care about this if it's that far out.

There would have to some sort of threshold, the idea of running into Dakota 75-years from now leaves something to be desired.

A pair of physicists has shown that computers have a speed limit as unbreakable as the speed of light...

Nothing new, Seymour Cray figured this out, 40+ years ago!

Physicists also used to tell us that the earth could not be more than a few thousand years old and that it was impossible for the continents to move. Unfortunately, they don't always think outside the box.

You mean I only have to keep upgrading to a newer computer for only 75 years.

Cool. I thought it was going to be the rest of my life.
